The commander's face became gloomy again!

The chief of staff was right, although he had overestimated the garrison regiment as much as possible, but in the end he underestimated it!

Especially in the face of their endless means of warfare, the army commander has a sense of powerlessness, and he can almost be called defenseless!

And after this battle, the strength of the garrison regiment will definitely be further improved!

If the commander is given an order of all his opponents, the status of the garrison regiment will definitely be a notch higher than before.

Shift your gaze back to the sandbox!

The Imperial Army has lost this battle, as the army commander, what he needs to do is to stop the loss, find a way to organize the garrison regiment to continue to grow and develop, and then send troops to attack the garrison after the independent mixed brigade is in place!

After thinking about it for a few minutes, he decided to change the tactical tactics that the Imperial Army was now executing!

The general blockade line is useful for the ordinary Eighth Route Army, but not for the garrison regiment!

They were armed with a large number of siege artillery, and there was plenty of ammunition, and no matter the turrets and pillboxes, they were like paper paste in front of them!

Unless a three-dimensional defense line is established, the infantry artillery will cooperate to defend!

But this requires too many troops, and a lot of heavy weapons!

The imperial army does not lack heavy weapons, but it lacks soldiers, otherwise it will not form a large number of imperial troops to assist the imperial army in defending the place and free up the main force of the imperial army to fight head-on!

Thinking of this, the commander made a decisive decision: "We will not build a new blockade!" ”

The chief of staff's eyes immediately widened, and he asked with a look of disbelief: "Sir, without a blockade line, isn't it possible for the Eighth Route Army to arbitrarily enter our occupied area and attack us, as if entering a no-man's land?" ”

The commander snorted coldly and replied: "Come if you want, leave if you want, where is it so easy!" ”

"Everyone has experienced these two nights of fighting, and the process of fighting is clear! If we continue to build a defensive line as before, then the troops we have deployed on the blockade line will be sheep in the mouth of the tiger, and the garrison will be rewarded with war merits in vain! ”

"Do you want to see the Imperial Army lose thousands more in two nights?"

The chief of staff is speechless!

The assault capability of the garrison regiment was vividly displayed in these two nights, no less than the elite of the imperial army!

The general blockade line really can't stop them!

If the blockade line is not established, will the Eighth Route Army be allowed to enter and exit the area occupied by the imperial army, as if it were entering a no-man's land!

The chief of staff also did not dare to imagine this picture!

So there was a straight expression on his face that he wanted to say something and stopped!

Want to talk, but don't know what to say?

If you want to refute, you can't think of a reason to refute it even if you rack your brains!

The commander explained in a timely manner: "Don't worry, what I said about not building a blockade does not mean that the garrison regiment can freely enter and leave our occupied area!" ”

"After two days of fighting, the attacking troops of the garrison regiment were indeed overwhelming, but in the face of our large strongholds and county seats, they still had no choice, or they could not take it in a short time, the battle dragged on until dawn, or the casualties were too great!"

"In order to avoid our air strikes, the garrison regiment can only fight at night!"

"Whether it's an offensive and defensive battle or a positional war, as long as we can hold out until dawn, the final winner is us!"

"Judging from the performance of the garrison regiment in this counteroffensive, they can defeat us, and they have a great advantage in equipment, especially heavy weapons!"

"The other thing is to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared!"

"Especially the two ambush battles, through false information to lure us into the fool, when the troops are unprepared, suddenly dispatched to hit us!"

"So as long as we solve these two points, the garrison can't help us!"

"My idea is to establish several large strongholds at the junction between us and the garrison base area, concentrate all the scattered forces there, and then strengthen a sufficient number of heavy weapons to rely on these strongholds to block the momentum of the garrison group's outward expansion!"

The chief of staff immediately shifted his gaze to the sand table, looked at it for two full minutes, and then replied!

"Sir, two reinforced squadrons to strengthen a certain number of mountain artillery, heavy mortars, and twice the number of Imperial Cooperative Army to coordinate the defense, will definitely be able to hold a stronghold impregnable!"

"Even if the garrison regiment gathers heavy troops to attack, such a troop configuration is enough for them to hold out for one night, and it can inflict heavy casualties on the attacking troops of the garrison regiment!"

"However, a large stronghold is stationed with two reinforced squadrons, and according to this standard, our troops on the temporary defensive line are only enough to build four large strongholds!"

"If all the troops who took the initiative to retreat during the day yesterday were returned, we could build two more!"

"But the appetite of the garrison is too big, just swallow them in one gulp!"

"Five strongholds defend a blockade line of nearly 100 kilometers, which is equivalent to 20 kilometers between each stronghold!"

"Isn't this distance too wide, the garrison regiment will definitely be able to pass through these defensive holes silently, and then enter our occupation zone!"

The commander's face remained unchanged and continued: "I was still looking forward to them coming in!" ”

"Five large strongholds separating us from the garrison base!"

"In addition to the standard equipment you just mentioned, Chief of Staff, I also want to strengthen each stronghold with a chariot detachment, a motor transport squad, and a certain number of cavalry!"

"After the Eighth Route Army enters our occupied area, it is bound to launch an attack on the Imperial Army!"

"We have also abandoned all the small strongholds and artillery towers in the occupied area, concentrated our forces to defend all medium and large strongholds and important towns, and communication arteries, and changed the comprehensive defense to the key defense, so as to ensure that each stronghold can hold out for more than two hours after being attacked by the garrison regiment!"

"If the garrison regiment dares to attack these strongholds, the nearby large strongholds will quickly send troops, use cars to travel, quickly rush to the battlefield, block the back road of the garrison regiment, attack front and rear, and kill them!"

"As long as they dare to enter the area occupied by the imperial army, we will leave them behind, and those who come in will not be able to get out!"

"In addition, the reconnaissance force and the intelligence department must also cooperate closely and act together, and they can no longer be inactive as before."

"There's a reason why I say that!"

"Especially the night before yesterday, we made a wrong decision that led to a crushing defeat of the imperial army, and the key problem is that we got the wrong information and then made the wrong judgment!"

"Same thing, I don't want to happen again!"

"After two days of fighting, the strength of the garrison regiment has been fully exposed!"

"I ask them, from now on, to keep an eye on these troops at all costs, and report the military movements of more than one company, and then arrange for someone to keep an eye on them!"

"Although there are only five strongholds left in the blockade line, it is necessary to densely populate the intelligence personnel and reconnaissance troops of the Imperial Army, and once a garrison group passes, immediately report to the nearby strongholds and keep an eye on them!"

"Then arrange the troops in a unified manner and encircle and annihilate them!"

"It's still the same sentence just now, I want them to come in, but they can't get out!"
